Questions

The weekly number, in plain words.

How many hours a week does USMLE Step 1 take?
Dedicated study for Step 1 is commonly planned in the hundreds of hours. Use your own schedule’s figure. Spread evenly, 400 hours is 33.3 hours a week over 12 weeks, 25 hours over 16 weeks and 16.7 hours over 24 weeks.
What if I’m behind on studying for USMLE Step 1?
Divide what’s left by the weeks left: that is your weekly number from here. With 200 hours left and 8 weeks to go it’s 25 hours a week; with 6 weeks to go, 33.3 hours. Every week that slips raises it, which is why it pays to check your pace each week rather than near the end.
How can I check each week that I’m on track for USMLE Step 1?
Ceresis Core turns USMLE Step 1 into a weekly target. You log what you did in one line; it measures every week against that target, says how far ahead or behind you are, and plans the catch-up over the days left. Pace checks and the weekly review are on the free plan and work without AI.

The plan around it

One number at the centre. What holds it up, in orbit.

An example plan for USMLE Step 1: the weekly number, and the sleep and routine that decide whether you keep it. Drag it, tilt it, share it with someone who keeps you honest.

Knowing the number is the easy part

Weeks slip one missed evening at a time. Ceresis measures what you actually do against that weekly number, names the day you fall behind with a catch-up plan that fits the days left, and sends a weekly review with one change for next week. Free, without AI.
